@Teamhanrahan62 Agreed- I could work around that better. If there were teachers in on different days, that would alleviate some worry as far as safety goes as well. It makes so much sense to offer different options.

[Gabby Schar @TeamSchar]

@Teamhanrahan62 And how easily that stress can be alleviated by working remotely in your own home. You could still be responsive and focused on your teaching, but know your kids are also taken care of.

During @dist57 board meeting, Dr. Aumiller stated the district will be flexible with their staff as they work together to make the best possible remote learning. I appreciate that they trust the teacher's professionalism, whether they choose to work in the classroom or from home.

[Matt Peebles @PeeblesForest]

How can we expect our families to provide a safe+healthy home learning environment for our students if we can’t even provide that for our own families? There is zero reason why we should be working from our classroom to start the year.

@MrsKlemundt Looking amazing!

[Gabby Schar @TeamSchar]

Been working on my Virtual Classroom. I'm excited with where I'm at so far! #GrowatFO #62learns #2ndGrowsatFO

@MrsKlemundt Love! Started mine but need a lot more touches!

[Gabby Schar @TeamSchar]

This is sad, because teachers are planners. We want to give the best educational experience we can. We've been asking- answers haven't been coming.

[DPEA @DPEA62]

As of now, none of us know whether we are teaching remotely or in person. The volume and complexity of planning that needs to happen in a very short amount of time is considerable.

[Brian Anderson @banderson50]

@DPEA62 D62 should not be offering full, in-person learning.

[Gabby Schar @TeamSchar]

Trying to piece together my thoughts- here is where I'm at today.

@MsSantiago3rd Let's not forget my favorite- they want to go into buildings but with all the contaminants it would be better to wave from outside.

Yet some school continued to be so confident schools can reopen safely...

What does in person learning look like in the middle of a pandemic? 6+ hours in a mask. 6 feet of distance. Minimal movement. Anxiety. Is this environment conducive to learning?

[Gabby Schar @TeamSchar]

@MrsKlemundt @MrsEPark1 @mrsberger4 This is awesome!

[Gabby Schar @TeamSchar]

@MrsEPark1 Love this! So creative- I need to try it out!

There are still so many unknowns in how children are affected by Covid. @GMA @DPEA62 https://t.co/5Yi3JZnk6s

[Mount Prospect School District 57 @dist57]

The School Bd. has directed D57 to move forward with the plan of holding full remote learning when school resumes and phasing in a hybrid model on 10/19 if it is deemed safe at that time. Please read Dr. Aumiller's Bd. mtg. recap/next steps, at this link: https://t.co/x5Dtietm67.

Dear @JBPritzker we are on the rise again and schools are about to open. Superintendents around the state are in a no win situation. Make the call to go remote. Don’t let IL be the next FL.
